Trade with capital from a prop firm Funded Account
What is a funded account?
A funded account is a trading account where you trade with money from a company (prop firm) instead of your own money.
You must first complete a challenge to demonstrate that you can trade profitably. If you succeed, you gain access to a larger account and get to share the profits (often 70% – 90% for you).
How does a funded account work?
- Choose a prop firm. You choose a provider.
- Start the challenge. You pay a small fee and must follow certain rules (such as max drawdown and profit target).
- Achieve the profit target. Show that you can consistently make a profit without breaking the rules.
- Get funded. Did you succeed? Then you will receive a funded account with substantial capital (e.g. €10K – €200K).
- Earn and receive payouts. You trade with their money and receive a large share of the profit (often 70%–90%).
You prove your skills → get capital → earn without significant personal risk
